The video we watched was created based on the new invention Google glass, it was a pretty weird video. I found it strange how the guy's eyes looked, also that from a normal view he was staring at a blank wall. I think this video exaggerated the use of the Google glass. That to me seems like a phone in your glasses that you can control without the use of your hands. In the first video the guy was controlling the girl, which is strange and far-fetched, in my opinion. I think what it was trying to show us are the dangers of too much technology.

I haven't been taught anything about HTML, web design, or codes before, therefore taking this class is pretty interesting for me. So far in this class we've learned about setting up a webpage, adding paragraphs and adding links to another webpage.

Website Trends

Website Trends:

Gridline Layouts are one of the latest trend, social feeds such as Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, have always been in a streamlined fashion.

Another widely-used trend is Video/Moving backgrounds. For example The Guardian's 'Firestorm' has video, sound, and changing pictures as its background.

Worst and Best Website Designs

Horrible Designs:

http://www.johnprocario.com

This website doesn't make much sense, the only thing you can do is look at a lamp that is shown countless times and every single one priced the same at $3,000 are "sold". 

http://www.hughjassburgers.com/#!menu/ch8j

This website isn't designed every well, and its not useful because when you click on menu  there isn;t any food.

Great Designs:

http://www.apple.com

The apple website is easy, straightforward, and designed beautifully. Theres all the products, frequently asked questions, everything an apple user needs.

This website is really interesting to look at, they have any clothing, accessory, or anything you need. It's easy to navigate as well.
